Review to the Office of Management and Budget

April 20, 2007.
SUMMARY: The Federal Communications Commission, as part of its 
continuing effort to reduce paperwork burden invites the general public 
and other Federal agencies to take this opportunity to comment on the 
following information collection(s), as required by the Paperwork 
Reduction Act (PRA) of 1995, Public Law 104-13. An agency may not 
conduct or sponsor a collection of information unless it displays a 
currently valid control number. No person shall be subject to any 
penalty for failing to comply with a collection of information subject 
to the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) that does not display a valid 
control number. Comments are requested concerning (a) Whether the 
proposed collection of information is necessary for the proper 
performance of the functions of the Commission, including whether the 
information shall have practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the 
Commission's burden estimate; (c) ways to enhance the quality, utility, 
and clarity of the information collected; and (d) ways to minimize the 
burden of the collection of information on the respondents, including 
the use of automated collection techniques or other forms of 
information technology.

DATES: Written Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) comments should be 
submitted on or before May 25, 2007. If you anticipate that you will be 
submitting PRA comments, but find it difficult to do so within the 
period of time allowed by this notice, you should advise the FCC 
contact listed below as soon as possible.

ADDRESSES: Direct all PRA comments to Jasmeet K. Seehra, Office of 
Management and Budget, Room 10236 NEOB, Washington, DC 20503, (202)

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
    OMB Control Number: 3060-0261.
    Title: Section 90.215, Transmitter Measurements.
    Form No.: N/A.
    Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection.
    Respondents: Business or other for-profit, not-for-profit 
institutions, and state, local or tribal government.
    Number of Respondents: 191,698 respondents; 450,754 responses.
    Estimated Time per Response: 2 minutes (.033 hours).
    Frequency of Response: Recordkeeping requirement.
    Obligation to Respond: Required to obtain or retain benefits.
    Total Annual Burden: 4,958 hours.
    Total Annual Cost: N/A.
    Privacy Act Impact Assessment: N/A.
    Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: There is no need for 
confidentiality.
    Needs and Uses: The Commission will submit this information 
collection to OMB as an extension (no change in recordkeeping 
requirements) during this comment period to obtain the full three-year 
clearance from them. The Commission has adjusted the number of 
respondents and total annual burden hours due to an increase in the 
number of licensees subject to this rule requirement.
    Section 90.215 requires station licensees to measure the carrier 
frequency, output power, and modulation of each transmitter authorized 
to operate with power in excess of two watts when the transmitter is 
initially installed and when any changes are made which would likely 
affect the modulation characteristics. Such measurements, which help 
ensure proper operation of transmitters, are to be made by a qualified 
engineering measurement service, and are required to be retained in the 
station records, along with the name and address of the engineering 
measurement service, and the person making the measurements.
    The information is normally used by the licensee to ensure that 
equipment is operating within the prescribed tolerances. Prior 
technical operation of transmitters helps limit interference to other 
users and provides the licensee with the maximum possible utilization 
of equipment.

Federal Communications Commission.
Marlene H. Dortch,
Secretary.
